Rob Hollis is a western Canadian singer songwriter and guitarist. Born in Edmonton, Alberta and raised in Alberta and on Vancouver
Island. Western Canada is a melting pot of musical styles and
genres…..Rob’s music is a product of this environment. Trad
Country….bluesy…..swingy…..folk….original.

In 1994, Canadian country airwaves bounced to “Rockabilly Heart”, the
debut by Canadian iconic songstress Cindy Church….and by songwriter Rob
Hollis. Cindy went on to cover another Hollis original, “Wheel of Love”
on her third solo release and the song was also included in live
performances by the wonderful trio “Rankin, Church & Crowe”.

In September 2003 radio audiences in Canada and the U.S. were
introduced to a new recording “Highway of Love” the debut release by
independent artist Rob Hollis. The CD garnered airplay on many
Folk/Roots radio shows across Canada and down in the U.S. The album was
also reviewed and received positive feedback from press and media.

final product. Hollis has a smooth, comfortably lived-in voice that
delivers his classic sounding lyrics”
